TREATMENT FAQS
-
After care?Immediately after treatment, most patients will experience erythema (redness) for 1-3 days, however for more aggressive treatments this may last longer. Slight to moderate edema (swelling) and a mild to moderate sunburn sensation are also common post treatment and may last 1-3 days. Skin may crust and peel for 2-7 days depending on treatment settings. There are no restrictions on bathing except to treat the skin gently, avoid scrubbing or trauma to the treated area. The use of a zinc oxide sun block SPF 30+ at all times after 24-48 hours.
-
What areas does it treat?Morpheus8 microneedling with radio frequency is most often used on the face and neck to help with deep wrinkles and lines, jowls, double chin, turkey neck, thick neck, undereye bags, smoker’s wrinkles, crow’s feet, large pores, crepey skin and forehead wrinkles. It is also used on other areas of the body such as the stomach, legs, and arms to decrease crepey skin, tighten skin and decrease fat.

What is the downtime?After your Morpheus8 treatment, you can expect swelling, redness and possibly some bruising as it is causing a controlled injury to get your collagen and elastin jump started again. This will last about 3-5 days. For the first 3 days, you will be instructed on what products to apply to the treated area. After 3 days, you can apply camouflage make-up. Day 4-5 you will have slightly flakey skin. After 5-7 days, your skin is looking back to normal. You can go back to work the day after the procedure, but frequently clients who work, come in on Thursday evening or Friday and recover without make-up over the weekend. By Monday, you are good to go! Those who don’t work, often have Morpheus8 performed on Monday and recover during the week so they are ready to go on the weekend!
-
How many treatments will I need?Depending on your Morpheus8 treatment regime, your skin concerns and goals, we recommend 3 sessions for best results, although, you will see results 3 weeks after your first session.
-
How often do I come in for maintenance?Typically clients want to come back in 15 months for a maintenance treatment.
-
How often can I get it?You can have a Morpheus8 treatment 1x/month. It takes 28 days to make new collagen. Your skin will continue to remodel for 3 months. However, you can stack treatments as close as 1 month apart and the results will compound upon each other. You can space them apart as far as you would like without any problems. Typically, a person in their 50’s and above, will have a series of 3 Morpheus8 treatments performed with each treatment spaced 6 weeks apart.
-
How quickly will I see results?Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three - six months after treatment.
-
How long does it last?It takes 28 days to form new collagen. During those first 28 days, your skin will be reorganizing and remodeling deep into the subcutaneous layer of tissue. So, sit back and wait for the transformation! After just one Morpheus8 treatment, you can expect to continue to see changes in your skin for up to 3 months. Once the remodeling has occurred, you may opt for a 2nd treatment to further your improvement. Nothing will freeze you in place forever, however, it does give you a new starting point! Morpheus8 bridges the gap between surgery and topical lotions/treatments.
-
When can I put makeup on after the treatment?Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied 1 to 3 days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to 1 week depending on treatment parameters.
-
What does RF Energy treat?Skin improvement, corrects wrinkles, skin tightening, non-surgical face lift, active acne, acne scars, stretch marks, cellulite, decreases double chin fat and jowling, smile lines, wrinkles, and loose neck / chest skin! This technology is like no other.
-
I have had microneedling before, how is Morpheus 8 different?Morpheus8 is microneedling with radio frequency with adjustable depth (up to 4 mm) fine surgical pins. At the end of these fine pins, radio frequency waves are emitted. What this means is that you get a double whammy when it comes to skin rejuvenation and tightening. The microneedles cause a controlled injury that results in formation of new collagen and elastin (the fibers responsible for skin tightening). In addition, the radio frequency wave also stimulate collagen and elastin formation. So, you have skin rejuvenation occurring from 2 different formats!! It is a great alternative to surgery if you are not ready to undergo the knife.
-
Why are the adjustable depths of the microneedles important?By adjusting the depth of the needles, the clinician can use the Morpheus8 to come up with a customized treatment for your specific concerns. Morpheus8 can be modified to address loose skin, deep wrinkles, crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, under eye bags, smoker’s lines, crepey skin, jowls and pore size. As our skin ages, we form jowls, lose our defined jaw line, develop a double chin (or the dreaded waddle), and our neck either becomes thick or crapey/turkey-like in appearance. Morpheus8 can be used to help all these problematic areas of concern and help you regain a more youthful appearance.
